Gaza aid jetty ‘halfway to completion’

The jetty being constructed by the United States off the coast of Gaza to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid is “over 50 per cent complete”, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said on Wednesday night.

She explained that the floating pier has now been “completely constructed and set up”, and that now construction of the causeway, which will connect it to land, is “in progress”.

With the jetty now nearing completion, she said it will be utilised for humanitarian aid deliveries from early May.
